12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for ain Isaac your seed shall be called.  
13 Yet I will also make aa nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your1 seed.”  
14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and1 a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and asent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.  
15 And the water in the skin was used up, and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs.
16 Then she went and sat down across from him at a distance of about a bowshot; for she said to herself, “Let me not see the death of the boy.” So she sat opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept.
17 And aGod heard the voice of the lad. Then the bangel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.  
18 Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for aI will make him a great nation.”  
19 Then aGod opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.  
20 So God awas with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, band became an archer.  
21 He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother atook a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

23 Now therefore, aswear to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in which you have dwelt.”
